Always glad to see TRSI/Noizomi putting out shows. I think they have one of the best business strategies in the game.
They pick up niche shows, and sell them for affordable prices. They don't need much marketing, other than con and website announcements because anyone that would buy the shows would know about it. Always wanted to see Princess Nine. And, I'm a sucker for old school Shoujo, so I might have to check out Cat's Eye as well. Probably pass on Campanella and Sengoku. Never seen either, and could watch them free if I wanted. Sengoku looked okay, I've heard good reviews. I may watch a few episodes, and then decide. Nice picks though, keep it up TRSI/Noizomi! And +1 for LoGH license! Last edited by MrHatandClogs on Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:59 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Cat's Eye looks interesting to me - I'm definitely into old-timey anime. I already own Princess Nine so I won't double dip but I'm very happy the show is getting another shot at snagging some new viewers. Campanella ... I tried watching the first eppie when it came out and was vastly underwhelmed. Same with Sengoku Collection. Anyway, I too hope RS has all of Cat's Eye.

While I like to see that they're "thinking about Blu-Ray", and I can understand the rationale' behind it for older titles "Sengoku Collection" not being in Blu-Ray doesn't make any sense. If it's a licensing concern, I'd really love for most companies to be upfront in saying, "We can't get the Blu-Ray rights."
I can't purchase anything for a title made after 2008 and it NOT be a BD release. |

It's actually a Shounen Jump title. |

Shawne said the reason right out of the gate: Blu-Ray is still relatively expensive to release. The shows TRSI licenses tend to be niche titles that aren't going to get the kinds of numbers that FUNimation & Setai's BDs likely tend to do, so doing a BD for something that won't end up warranting the extra costs is just not a smart thing to do, financially. Even Discotek has only done one BD so far, Little Nemo, and that was only because it was a well-known, "mainstream" title back in its day so there's better chance at extra sales there, not to mention extra content like including the original Japanese audio for the very first time. Just because BD has existed for a good while doesn't mean that it has become as cheap to produce as DVD is. |

Hell yeah! Cat's Eye!
 Way to go Right Stuf!
I hope this means a possible license rescue for City Hunter as well! And I know this is going to sound like a pipe dream but I wouldn't mind seeing the French dub for Cat's Eye (known as Cat Eyes) also on the set as I heard that this show is a cult classic among French anime fans. |

I knew they would pick up Cat's Eye!
And Princess Nine is a very nice pick up.

My comment on licensing was more of a general statement, not limited to TRSI. I realize that it's not as cheap to produce. Why the hell would you offer a series in any other format? I don't even know how there is a market for crappy 480p DVD on something produced recently. |

Bravo to TRSI / Nozomi for Cat's Eye. I really enjoyed watching it as it was released by Imaginasian. However, in the back of my mind I worried about the long term durability of the dvd-r's they were burned onto.
This will be an easy double dip. Thanks Right Stuf! |

Great news from TRSI/Nozomi
Princess 9 is one of my not so guilty pleasures and has been OOP for too long (especially as some of the ADV discs seemed to die off after a while).
Blessing of the Campanella, Cats Eyes and Space Adventure Cobra are also likely buys for me

I've always been interested in Princess Nine and Cat's Eye, and it's so awesome to have a chance to finally watch them both.
The old-school announcements and releases this year have been great so far, I look forward to 2014.

Personally, I've always preferred "The White Stuff" by Weird Al Yankovic.

Good to see Princess Nine back in the spotlight again. This was one of ADV old acquisitions that almost seemed like it wasn't going to happen. Good to see folks will have a chance to enjoy this one.
